Al-Kubasi's River Shove Wins Him the Pot

Baltazar Five raised to 8,000 under the gun before Mehmet Samsa three-bet to roughly 35,000 from the next seat. The player in the cutoff four-bet to 93,000 and Ali Muthana Yassin Al-Kubasi cold-called from the big blind. Baltazar Five folded, but Samsa called to see a flop.

With around 300,000 already in the middle, the three players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 8♠3♦5♠. Al-Kubasi and Samsa checked, but the cutoff player fired out a bet of 143,000. Only Al-Kubasi called.

Al-Kubasi checked again upon seeing the 4♣ fall on the turn. The cutoff player fired a second barrel of 330,000, which Al-Kubasi called.

After the dealer dropped the 7♥ on the river, Al-Kubasi shoved for 463,000 total. Al-Kubasi's opponent had slightly more chips than Al-Kubasi, and this bet caused him to go deep into the tank. After over a minute of thought, the cutoff player tossed his cards into the muck and Al-Kubasi won the pot.
